The GOP Faces A Unique Dilemma Ahead Of Trump’s Sentencing

Huff Post  

LOADING ERROR LOADING Among all of the other questions raised by former President Donald Trump’s felony conviction, there’s one prickly issue still facing planners of the July GOP national convention: What to do if Trump is in jail when it starts? Bob Shrum, a longtime Democratic consultant, said it’s unlikely Trump would start serving his sentence immediately. “If President Trump cannot attend the convention in Milwaukee physically because they’re following through with this sham trial, the Democrat Party is going to be electing Donald J. Trump as the 47th president,” he told HuffPost. “What the Democrats didn’t seem to figure out is that they have actually peeled the scales off of Saul’s eyes on the road to Damascus and people are like, ‘Holy beans, I don’t want to live in a country where this can happen.’” Sabato said the belief that Trump being kept from his own party’s convention benefitting him may be misplaced, though. Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, who served as head of the Democratic National Committee during the 2012 and 2016 conventions, said Trump’s physical presence would likely not be required to accept the nomination.
